You can unzip the self-extracting executable. unzip ra3soundtrack.exe worked fine for me. Then I discovered that the mp3 player doesn't work with the linux version. Bummer.
[wiley@zig wiley]$./datetest2 1999 11 31 Date::Calc::Add_Delta_Days(): not a valid date at./datetest2 line 11.
I also tried it without the line
$y += 1900; #fix the years
but that still gives me
99 11 31 Date::Calc::Add_Delta_Days(): not a valid date at./datetest2 line 10.
I am almost positive that this code worked yesterday.
I fixed the problem script with a different approach, but I thought this was worth pointing out. I will admit that I could be doing something wrong here. Any ideas?
I play quake, quake2 and quake3test under linux all the time without any crashes. I agree that open source is the way to go, but I don't see it happening with mainstream games anytime soon.
A major problem with SunOS is the fact that you have to spend hours installing the GNU packages that we all know and love before you have a usuable box. With linux you just install a distribution, tweak a few settings and you are done.

oops, looks like I am the one with issues.
Desert Raven pointed out that
Months are returned as zero-based array indexes. (january == 0, december == 11)
doh!
That seems to do the trick.
I guess localtime has issues.
Thanks

I thought this was interesting.
./datetest2 ./datetest2 line 11.
./datetest2 line 10.
#!/usr/bin/perl
($y,$m,$d) = (localtime)[5,4,3]; #get todays date
$y += 1900; #fix the years
print "$y $m $d\n";
this gives me: 1999 11 31
date gives: Fri Dec 31 12:15:04 EST 1999
Hmm, I could be doing something wrong, but I have
never noticed this problem before.
I noticed the problem with the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# evil broken code follows
use Date::Calc qw(Add_Delta_Days);
($y,$m,$d) = (localtime)[5,4,3]; #get today's date
$y += 1900; #fix the years
print "$y $m $d\n";
($y2,$m2,$d2) = Add_Delta_Days($y,$m,$d,-1); #get yesterday's date
$y2 += 1900;
print "$y2 $m2 $d2\n";
# end evil code
This produces:
[wiley@zig wiley]$

If the game must be open source whats stoping Joe Blow from downloading the source code and compiling it?
Why would the game have to be open source? I am perfectly willing to buy closed source games that run on linux.
